Let me just catch ya up on a few things, okay? About 6 weeks ago we bought ourselves a little Yorkie dog, Koda! He is just about the cutest little thing you have ever seen but man alive he is NAUGHTY! We are new to this whole dog thing but thought it would be “fun!” I must say that I find this little mongrel to be more work than a newborn baby. In some ways he is much harder than a baby but then again he does sleep at night so that’s a plus.
We got him when he was 6 weeks old, he was soooo tiny!
Here he is after a trip to the groomers...nice ascot!
He is hilarious and so sweet but soooooo naughty! We do so love him, how could we not?!?
In other news, Kobe is training for his first HALF MARATHON!!! The dudes legs are only about 8 inches long so this is a pretty big deal. He decided after his first 10K that he wanted to do the Haunted Half Marathon on October 26th. I found a training plan and we have been following it to the T, Kobe checks it often which I love.
Kobe is holding a horse which we found on our run, he is now our mascot.
Training was a bit rough in the beginning and truth be told I nearly gave up. Kobe was determined to make it work and he has done amazingly! I am so excited for him and Kaden (Holly’s son) to attack a half marathon. I have so LOVED our runs together, it has taken a great deal of patience but to see them improving has been awesome.
We got photo bombed by a biker :)
Kobe is all about the route. I will say we have to run 4 miles and he says “I don’t care how far we are going, I only care where we are going.” I hope with all my being that he makes it to race day still excited about running. I love the time we are spending together training for this race. It is amazing to me that his twiggle little legs are capable of running 13.1 miles…that be pretty dang far!
When Kobe is done he is DONE! I turned around today to see him sitting in the middle of the trail :D And he always sprints to the finish, love that smeagoly boy!
This morning I got to pace the Nebo Half Marathon, which I LOVED, then we did a 6 miler! We didn't start the 6 miler with the boys until 10 a.m. and it was 6000 degrees. It was rough but we did it.
Lastly, I am dying to do a marathon!! I don’t see one in my near future since here in Utah it has a tendency to be snowy in the winter months therefore there are no marathons to be found past the beginning of October! I would LOVE to do the Rock and Rock Las Vegas Marathon but it starts at 4 pm…who the heck can run a marathon starting at that hour? NOT ME!!
I guess that's enough randomness for one day. I'm out!
